Senior safety Pop Bush (Nocatee, Fla.) of the UNH football team was named both the FCS National and Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Defensive Player of the Week on Monday.
Bush made plays all over the field in New Hampshire's 27-21 conference victory at Stony Brook last Thursday night in the season opener. He recorded a team-high 10 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss (-17 yds.), one sack, two forced fumbles, two pass breakups and an interception, which he returned 65 yards. The 10 tackles tied a career high for Bush, while the interception was the second of his career.
It marks the first time in his Wildcat career that he has won National or CAA Defensive Player of the Week honors.
The Wildcats return to action Saturday, September 11th against Towson in CAA play. Game time at Wildcat Stadium in Durham is 6 p.m.
